Recently my wonderful husband convinced me to finally bite the bullet and enroll in culinary school. I’ve only been there a month, but I can’t tell you how much fun I’m already having! I’m making new friends, and learning more than I ever thought possible.
You’d think with being at school, in a kitchen, 3 nights a week that I’d want to do nothing but order take-out on my nights off…but no. I still absolutely love cooking in my kitchen and making tasty tidbits for my wonderfully supportive husband.
So, this week while going through my Google Reader I came across these donut muffins on Traubulous (originally from Tasty Kitchen) and once I realized I had all of the ingredients already in the house, I decided to make them right away.
They are delicious!! Definitely give them a try next time you’re in the mood for something sweet.
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4C. Flour
1 1/2t. Baking Powder
1/2t. Salt
1/2t. Nutmeg
1/2t. Cinnamon
1/3C. Vegetable Oil
3/4C. White Sugar
1 Egg
3/4C. Milk
For the topping:
1/4C. Butter
1/3C. White Sugar
1T. Cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Combine oil, sugar, egg and milk. Add dry ingredients and stir only to combine.
Bake in well-greased muffin tin, at 350 degrees, for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a bowl. Combine the white sugar with the cinnamon in another bowl.
Shake muffins out while still hot. Dip muffin tops in butter, then into the sugar/cinnamon mix. Let cool.
Makes 12 muffins.
Husband Rating – 4.5 out of 5 – “These are awesome!”
I gave up donuts long ago because they are deep fried. This recipe sounds wonderful! As soon as I quit making fresh fruit pies I plan to try it.
These sound amazing!!!!!!
So glad you liked them as well! I haven’t had a bad recipe from Tasty Kitchen yet!
